christiansatanist Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So ive been trying to solve this by myself for a while but i still cannot wrap my head around it. So i use alot of mods(modlist below) and majority of the game is fine 60fps no lagging nothing. Some areas for example, solitude and whiterun where i look at the whole city cell in my view, my fps drops to about 30-40. BUT, my videocard at this certain time and point is clocked up only to about 1320mhz and it refuses to go into boost clock until i start spamming conjuration spells or do something else thats relatively graphically intense. I would like to know how to solve this problem, i feel like my cpu might be the bottleneck. Specs: Intel i5-6400 2.7ghz normal. Boost: 3,3ghz Videocard as mentioned above: GTX 1050ti OC edition(clocks up to 1825mhz on full load) 8GB of ram. All the latest drivers and Win10. Modlist in attachment. Would really appreciate some advice on why the videocard is behaving like it does and do i have to simply remove Jk's and deal with it. EDIT: Locking videocard's clock to boost values doesnt help with fps. LOADORDER.txt Link to comment
CPU Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Skyrim is an old game, and unless you are using heavy ENB settings, the 1050 is overdue for it. It is not your problem. The problem is the game engine that suffers a lot in certain areas (Whiterun is the most common example.) Also the CPU is able to do everything, and the memory is enough for a 32bit game. If you can, check how works SSE in the similar situation, and you will see that it is 10 times more fluid. Remember also that some FPS drop can be done by script intensive mods. Link to comment

I was wondering about that judging by how witcher 3 runs on my system at 60fps stable in the major city novigrad on high settings. I will report back in the coming days with a mimic loadorder on SSE and exact comparisons. Link to comment
Vortec Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Skyrim loves high CPU clock rates, not necessarily a more efficient processor like you have. I'm running an old i2500 4 core at 4.3hrz. noticeable difference from the stock 3.6., Special edition would probably better for your CPU to use as its 64 bit. Link to comment

I have a similar CPU setup as yours, and I set Mod Organizer to my No-Mods profile, then I go to the top of dragon's reach and look down over whiterun, I get 38 - 40 fps with ENB, no effects enabled. Then I replicate the view of whiterun at the same ToD in Skyrim Special Edition and I get straight 60 fps, which is nice. Every time I run Skyrim SE I say to myself "Damn, if only the mods were all ported over." Link to comment

I know right, no HDT capes really sucks, and a large amount of other mods are still missing due to the according frameworks missing. 19 minutes ago, Vortec said: Skyrim loves high CPU clock rates, not necessarily a more efficient processor like you have.

Thats the problem, i want to know which of the many mods is eating it up and why my videocard isnt going to boost clock. It does go into boost clock unmodded as funny as it is. Been disabling re-enabling mods for a while now i cannot determine the exact issue. At some point solitude just goes 30 fps mode due to some mod hanging it. Link to comment

In my post, I did a test in an unmodded skyrim in whiterun, and had 38-40 fps with an overclocked i5-2500K. No mods. It's not a mod issue, it's just old skyrim being old and un-optimized. I could probably go to solitude and get the similar 30fps you get. It's just how skyrim runs aka it doesn't, it takes its sweet time. This is with a 980ti, so graphics card isn't the issue.

Etrius vanRandr Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I used to have my Xeon at 3.3Ghz, and thought it was fine, but as soon as I blasted it to 3.9GHz my world became better. As someone who had a 1050Ti, if your CPU is good enough and you overclock your 1050Ti to 2GHz+ like I did, you can run Skyrim on three screens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnzYeZKNz_o Link to comment

It sometimes seems wondrous to me how some people on youtube play with 500+ mods and dont have obscure fps issues in cities. Are the computers just beastly because obviously JDM or Jindo skyrim are running oldrim with those setups. It still feels like i am missing something. Link to comment
swmas Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 ENB mostly uses CPU and skyrim mostly uses cpu and only two cores actually I'm surprised you go to 60 at all. Link to comment
Swe-DivX Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Do you know how many skeletons is loaded in the game. If you have many followers mods with their own it will slow down the fps. LOOT? It saved my day. Link to comment
